What this reminds me of.....

[Alternativefacts]

Thank you mumsnet and all the posters on here who are challenging what is going on with self ID etc I rarely post but have been working my way through threads over past few weeks with growing sense of astonishment and anger. I knew it reminded me of something and have just put my finger on what - for me it has echoes of my experience of being raised in a crazy cult like religion which taught you to ignore the evidence of your own senses, to believe that death, illness and evil were unreal, and that ‘knowing the truth’ would heal. So no doctors or medical treatment, I left aged 15 because the mental gymnastics required just made no sense to me. (my sister stuck with the religion and died of treatable health issues aged 48; my mum remains a believer and has ignored symptoms of cancer for over a year.). I digress. But wondered if anyone else can relate to this? (A bit of a niche experience I guess!)

Meanwhile the question I would most like a response to from the self ID lobby is what is your definition of a woman?! ( and I mean an actual definition)

Transgender is a cult so it would mirror your experience - sorry that happened to you. Many don't understand the danger of cults and how they literally brainwash people - Scientology illustrates that best for most people - there's a series of docos made by people who exited it, who own their abuse where appropriate and who are trying to out their tactics.

Trans is the same - it's attracts vulnerable people who are brainwashed plus other abusers who like to exploit them and others for their owned vested interests - money and status (Bruce Jenner etc). It's the most insidious thing to watch

Thanks womanformallyknownaswoman.
My experience was that for those still stuck in the ‘crazysauce’ of the.religion / cult , the more those on the outside challenge, the stronger the beliefs are reinforced and bonds within the group strengthen. That’s part of why it is so hard to break out. Not a new insight about cults I know but definatly seeing parallels to the current mind blowing nonsense coming from the TRAs. Ps the religion was Christian Science.

Arrggh new to this posting thing, thought I had deleted my post accidentally so now have two versions!
Will ask mumsnet to delete one.
